forbidden land
"Forbidden Land" is a short documentary produced by Adalah - The Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel that highlights the confiscation of Palestinian Arab-owned land by Israel. Thousands of Palestinian citizens of Israel lost their land in the 1950s and 1960s after the government seized it, claiming that the land was needed for "essential" public purposes. Attorney Suhad Bishara, head of the Land and Planning Unit in Adalah, explains that "these cases are classic ones of expropriation for the sake of expropriation, nothing more."
